The Rivers and Mountains

Chapter 68: [Yuan Buyi]

Views:

When does the West Lake dance stop, and the warm wind makes tourists drunk.

People come and go as before, the water on the West Lake is sparkling, and the breeze blows over the sparkling lake, thousands of willows with green silk ribbons hanging down, and blows into Huiyuan Pavilion.

On the west side of the West Lake, stands a five-storey restaurant with flowing eaves and flying pavilions, which is magnificent. On the gold-plated plaque on the top, the three characters "Huiyuan Pavilion" are written, flying and dancing, with extraordinary momentum.

There are crowds of people in front of Huiyuan Pavilion, and the building is also lively and noisy, and the sound of wine and wine can be heard all over the West Lake.

Xue Poye looked at the magnificent Huiyuan Pavilion, and sighed secretly. Although Lanyuexuan's decoration industry can be regarded as exquisite, and the source of tourists is also constant, compared with this glamorous Huiyuan Pavilion, there is still a big difference. difference.

Before coming to Huiyuan Pavilion, the waiter took the golden lion down to feed it very attentively. This golden lion is a rare Huma, and many guests immediately looked at Xue Poye with admiration.

Pulling over a clerk, Xue Poye asked with a smile: "Is there a guest named Yuan here?"

Since Yuan Buyi is very wealthy, it must have been arranged to invite him here, and sure enough, the guy immediately said respectfully: "Is the uncle's surname Xue?"

Xue Poye nodded, presumably Hu San told Yuan Buyi his name.

"Uncle Xue, Uncle Yuan is waiting for you on the fifth floor. Our servants can't go up to disturb you. Please go up by yourself!" The clerk nodded and bowed, looking extremely attentive, Xue Poye naturally understood that this clerk was so respectful and attentive, definitely not because of In terms of his own face, it was entirely Yuan Buyi's fault.

Amidst the noise, walk through the hall and ascend the stairs, slowly go up, and gradually go up, the noise gradually subsides, and when you reach the corridor on the fifth floor, you can only hear the faint shouts downstairs, but there is no movement upstairs.

Turn left on the fifth floor and there is a circular arch. Xue Poye knocked lightly on the door, and a hoarse voice came from inside: "Please come in!"

Hearing this voice, Xue Poye felt a little uncomfortable. The voice seemed to come from hell, low and strange, hoarse and as cold as a blade rubbing against it.

Xue Poye opened the door and entered, only to see that the fifth floor was empty, with exquisite and rich decorations, pear wood tables and chairs, antique desks, and a few paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls. Knowing that these calligraphy and paintings are all from the hands of famous masters, one of the landscape paintings is under the seal of Zhao Tianru, this Zhao Tianru is a well-known great painter in Dachu, with his paintings hanging here, Huiyuan Pavilion has paid a lot of money.

Although the fifth floor is very large and empty, it doesn't feel very empty. The desks, tables and chairs are arranged with extreme care, which only makes people feel luxurious.

Xue Poye was a little puzzled, but there was no one on the fifth floor of Nuo Da, could it be that Yuan Buyi booked the venue? If this is the case, then Yuan Buyi is really awesome. He paid such a big cost for a mere meal.

I looked around, but I didn't see Yuan Buyi for a while, I was wondering, but I smelled a faint fragrance, I sniffed it, and I couldn't help showing my face, Grandma's, isn't this the smell of tea? Could it be that Yuan Buyi is making tea

Walking to the left following the smell of tea, I saw a small coal stove near the window sill, and a very elegant purple sand pot was driving on the stove. Look at the shape and quality of the purple clay pot, it is definitely first-class and high-quality. When it was on fire, the purple sand pot was emitting light smoke, and the tea fragrance was emanating from it.

The tea maker even made Xue Poye gasp.

Xue Poye knew that there was an upright official in the Song Dynasty, Bao Zheng and Bao Qingtian, his face was as black as coal, as if crawling out of coal ash, but this was just heard, although he had seen many African blacks, but Asian faces It is rare for a black person to see a tea maker at this time, but he admired the world as expected. This tea maker really has a face like black charcoal, with a dark face, but the red lips are extremely conspicuous.

Although the tea maker has extremely dark skin, the clothes on his body are incomparably luxurious. In addition to the top-grade brocade fabric, they are also sewn with gold thread. His left and right hands are actually wearing big golden rings Well, at first glance, this person looks like a nouveau riche, extravagant and flaunting his wealth.

It happened that such a rich and luxurious figure was kneeling on the ground, with his sleeves rolled up, holding a small fan in his right hand, fanning the stove.

For him, it seemed that there was nothing more important than making tea at this time. Even though Xue Poye was beside him, this person ignored him.

Xue Poye didn't speak, just sat down on the chair next to him and watched him make tea.

"I'm brewing scaring incense!" The tea maker was still making tea patiently, but suddenly said something.

Xue Poye said "Oh", he didn't know the importance of tea ceremony, but he had read a lot of books and heard about several kinds of tea, such as West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng, Junshan Yinzhen, Lushan Yunfeng, Yunnan Pu'er, Anxi Tieguanyin and this scary fragrance are all famous teas.

In fact, Scary Murder Incense was later known as Dongting Biluochun. Although it is called Scarier Incense today, Emperor Qianlong felt that the name was too rustic in the Qing Dynasty, so he changed its name to Biluochun.

"Because of Hung-chien's theory, the tea ceremony became very popular!" The tea maker seemed to be talking to Xue Poye, and then he said to himself: "It has been recorded in "Feng Shi's Experience and Wen Ji", you are invited today Come, I will make tea to welcome guests!"

Xue Poye first saw him as a nouveau riche, and thought he was a businessman who only knew the smell of money, but now he heard a few words from him, but felt that he was very elegant, which was quite different from his golden and rich appearance.

"Mr. seems to be very knowledgeable about the tea ceremony. I'm ashamed. I'm stupid, but I don't know anything!" Xue Poye smiled lightly, it seems that this person is not as vulgar as his appearance.

The tea maker looked at Xue Poye and asked, "Xue Poye?"

Xue Poye nodded and asked, "Yuan Buyi?"

The tea maker chuckled and nodded.

Xue Poye saw that when he smiled, the muscles on his face didn't move, only the corners of his mouth floated up, and the muscles on his face seemed extremely stiff, which was very strange, so he couldn't help but feel very strange.

"There are three points and three no points in the tea ceremony!" Yuan Buyi eloquently said: "New tea, sweet spring, and clean utensils are one, good weather is one, and elegant guests who are elegant and like-minded are one; otherwise, they are three no points! The top floor of Huiyuan Pavilion is cool and fresh, which is suitable for brewing tea. I look at the whole of Hangzhou, and only here can brew good tea!"

Xue Poye said in shock: "You didn't come to Huiyuan Pavilion just to make tea, did you?"

Yuan Buyi looked up at Xue Poye, and said calmly: "What's so strange about this? In this tall building, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery when you enter, and you can have a panoramic view of the West Lake at night, and you can also make tea and drink tea when you retreat. It's a pleasure in the world. Yinzi will wrap up this floor as my property, free and unrestricted, isn't it good?"

Xue Poye didn't expect this gentleman to have such sentimentality, but of course the few taels of silver in his mouth is not a small sum, and it is not a small amount of courage to buy a floor of the most popular Huiyuan Pavilion next to the West Lake.

Xue Poye coughed twice. He didn't come here to make tea and drink tea, so he asked directly: "I heard that your Excellency wants to buy a horse?"

Yuan Buyi waved his hand, still smiling with stiff facial muscles: "Let's not talk about this, just take a break and taste the scary incense I cooked." He shook the fan in his hand and turned up the heat.

Since it came, it was safe, Xue Poye was not impatient, looked around, and saw a bottle of ancient brown tea table next to the stove, and a clean purple sand tea set was placed on the table, spotless and very clean.

"This tea set is divided into celadon tea set and purple sand tea set. If we want to taste the fragrance of scaring people, we can only use purple sand as the main one. Not only should we use purple sand pots to make tea, but we should also use purple sand cups for this tea!" Yuan Buyi seemed to have noticed Xue Po. Ye noticed those gaps, and said eloquently: "Lao Tzu said, to the extreme of emptiness, keep quiet, and all things work together, and I can see their recovery. All things return to their roots. Returning to the root means tranquility, and tranquility means returning to life. Zhuangzi It is also said that if the water is still, it will illuminate the eyebrows and eyebrows. It is the supreme magic way to see the nature, see nature, reflect on oneself, and understand morality. When we brew tea and drink tea, we are recalling the state of mind of the ancients, and savoring the elegance and simplicity in it, which is simple and secluded!"

Xue Poye was dumbfounded when he heard that, he never thought that this guy was so knowledgeable, if he took off his rich clothes, he might really look like a recluse, but he was almost mistaken before.

The scaring incense was finally cooked, Yuan Buyi first asked Xue Poye to sit down by the tea table, put away the purple sand cup, brought the purple sand pot, and poured the tea into the purple sand cup gently like a stream, gurgling like a stream , the faint tea fragrance filled the air, got into Xue Poye's nose, and seemed to spread in every blood vessel in his body.
